How much do you want to bet that Rachel will be one of the last ones grayed out?

I'm not counting on any more blurs, it premieres in less than 24 hours, and they wont reveal the official 4 before the premiere, but who knows, a few more could go, but the 4 is already known(live feed leaks)

Remember Dan was actually slated to be evicted first but the tables were turned and he ended up winning the whole enchilada...one of my favorite players

And I agree with that. I had to go back to work after I had my daughter and it was torture to leave her every day for 8 hours....but there is no way I could leave her for 3 months with no contact when she was that young. There is so much that you would miss. I just couldn't do it. I admit. I'm judging her. And she's my favorite player ever.

Think of it this way. All Janelle is doing is earning money through her "profession" (can being a reality star be a profession?) to support her family, which is a good thing. Lots of ordinary parents work in professions where they must leave home for months at a time in order to work. And if she wins, some of the money could be used to set up a college savings account or small trust fund for her baby, too. I'm sure Janelle and her husband weighed all the pros and cons, including how her fans would react, and decided the opportunity for their family was too good to pass up.

When my ex-husband was promoted, he was transferred to a plant 180 miles away and could only come home on weekends while I stayed behind to sell the house. The house didn't sell for 8 long months. At one point, our daughter suffered a major sugar crash, went into seizures, and was in the hospital for several days. His company immediately booked the next flight out and flew him home at their expense, so I'm sure if anything happens to Janelle's baby, CBS will be right on it and fly her home.

You also have to remember than returning player are compensated as well, I think it is usually $25,000 just to come back. That would be a powerful incentive to starting off your baby's future.

I also suspect, when you are talking about fan-favorites like Janelle, that they might sweeten the pot a little when they are trying to talk them into returning. Maybe they offered her a little more money, or maybe they promised to sneak her into the DR once or twice a week to let her skype or call home and check on the baby. It would be easy enough to do and as long as she kept her mouth shut, no one would be the wiser.
